While there’s no way around the fact that caregiving can be stressful, stress reduction and management techniques can make a big difference in preventing burnout and improving caregiver physical and mental health.

Positive self-talk, emergency stress stoppers, and go-to stress-busting activities can be powerful techniques to stop the cycle of negative thoughts and improve caregiver mood:

Sometimes the most compassionate response to someone with dementia isn’t a word at all. It’s silence.

People living with dementia often need more time to process language and form a response. Their brain might need 5, 10, or even 15 seconds to understand what you said and find the words to answer. But most of us rush to fill the silence or repeat the question, and that moment where they could have spoken is lost.

Try pausing with purpose. Ask your question, then wait. Hold eye contact. Let them know you believe they have something to say. That kind of silence communicates patience, respect, and connection without saying a word.

As parents (or any older person you care for) age, it can become challenging to talk to them at times, especially when you need to talk about topics like growing older, or changes in lifestyle that are needed due to illness, age, or physical limitations.

You may be trying your best to communicate something important to them, but they simply won’t listen, can’t understand, or refuse to accept what you’re saying.

Consider these tips about effective ways to communicate with an aging parent so you can address tough life choices and important decisions in a way they can receive:
